You can read more about Lauren Luke aka panacea81 here.
Those of us who have found her on Youtube have followed her progress in beginning her line of colors. She has spoken about it on videos and taken us along on her journey. I wanted to see them before I purchased, though they intrigued me enough to buy without seeing them if I had to.
Make up Palettes
There are 5 sets of colors @ $37 each –My Sultry Blues, My Smokey Classics, My Luscious Greens, My Vintage Glams, and My Fierce Violets. They are very portable and easy to take with you if you were going to travel, a little large to throw in your purse.
What is included
Each set contains:
- 2 blendable primers – Nude Slip Dark & Nude Slip Light [the same in each palette]
- 3 eye colors – 1 large (main color), 2 small (contour and highlight)
- 1 eyeliner – Raven Black (small size)
- 1 contouring blush – large size
- 2 small size lip shades
- 1 My Glossy Lips lip gloss in Sheer [the same with each palette, a sort of mauvey clear]
Packaging
The packaging is very pretty. The outside is decorated with flowers. The inside includes labels for the colors, as well as a large mirror. The palette is quite large: approx 7 3/4″ by 5″ and a bit less than 1/2″ deep. It is nicely proportioned. I wouldn’t mind it being a bit smaller as long as the product stayed the same size, but I’ve not needed to reapply, so I don’t need to toss it in my purse.
And I just realized: there are color strips within the binding at the long end to make it easy to reach for the color palette you want to use. Great idea!
What about pigmentation?
The SA said they are heavily pigmented, and they are. I am very pleased with the three I own.
Where can you find them?
They will be available in the UK soon, if they are not already.
In the US, you can find them at Sephora online and at least in 150 of their stores. When I was in California, I went looking for it intentionally. The SA said she originally thought, Who is this person since she had never seen her videos or heard of her.
Which did I buy?
It was a toss up between the blue and the smokey. I bought the blue (Arbonne doesn’t have a blue.)
When I asked the SA which one sold the most, she thought perhaps it was My Smokey Classics, since there were less of those on the shelf. I purchased this later, along with My Fierce Violets.
The Green is similar to greens I wore in my youth. I expect they would look equally good now, but I’m not sure how much green I would wear, compared to the other colors. Plus, retro may not be a good choice for me, since I wore it once before. I thought it might be a bit yellow. I’d love to see a teal green set.
My Fierce Violets is similar to Glam, which is also very pretty. I’ll likely get Glam when I see it again, because they have nuances.
My take
I have tried 3 colors now: My Sultry Blues, My Fierce Violets, My Smokey Classics.
They are all 5 out of 5.
I love the blue set. Pictures of a look with My Sultry Blues here. I did two other looks with the blue palette: Look 2 and Look 3. I will likely get all the palettes, possibly not the green.
You can see 3 looks with the lip colors in My Sultry Blues here.
What do you think?
Have you heard of her? Do you follow her? Have you tried any of her colors? Which is your fave?
Pick one of her videos here to see how beautifully she does eyes.
